Haha, i was driving home from Dallas in my ML and saw a Challenger on his back window it said "Challenge This". Well I tried and he didn't bite?? Maybe he is aware of the food chain.

If they had got it so "right," then why does everybody here drive German cars?

They should have had Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat, at the wheel instead of George Washington. That would have made more sense, LOL.

Anyone see any of the Challenger 570x's from SMS Supercars on the road? They claim 700hp (not sure if it is engine or whp... dealer says it is whp, but I don't think it is) [the 570 is 500hp]. Personally, I am not a fan... Why pay $100k for a freaking Challenger?

SMS also customizes Camaros and Mustangs...

Not feeling it;similar to the same ol guilt trip GM propaganda commercials of the past. I like the car, but please, consumers are a bit smarter these days to fall for this type of advertising. Stick with the real virtues of the car which it does have a few.

This commercial is to embrace Americans to join and cheer for USA when they play England today at 1pm Central Time. Love the commercial gives me goosebumps, and I am not even an American. But a citizen of this wonderful country which I love to death and I did defended this amazing country for 5 years in Iran. I want either USA or Mexico to win. So go USA tomorrow for the World Cup which I will be watching. Beat England..... GO USA!!!!

Its that Freedom that your taking for granted that alows you to have a public option like this one with out someone from the goverment showing up at your door step.
Instead of complaining maybe you should consider thanking guys like kakorat that were willing to die for your limited freedom.
